SeisMIC (Seismological Monitoring using Interferometric Concepts) is a python software that emerged from the miic library. SeisMIC provides functionality to apply some concepts of seismic interferometry to different data of elastic waves. Its main use case is the monitoring of temporal changes in a mediums Green's Function (i.e., monitoring of temporal velocity changes).
SeisMIC will handle the whole workflow to create velocity-change time-series including:
- Downloading raw data
- Adaptable preprocessing of the waveform data
- Computating cross- and/or autocorrelations
- Plotting tools for correlations
- Database management of ambient seismic noise correlations
- Adaptable postprocessing of correlations
- Computation of velocity change (dv/v) time series
- Postprocessing of dv/v time series
- Plotting of dv/v time-series
- Inverting dv/v onto a spatial grid
SeisMIC handles correlations and data in an ObsPy-like manner.
SeisMIC is now deployed on PyPi and can simply be installed using:
# We recommend installing mpi4py from the conda-forge channel instead of PyPi
conda install -c conda-forge mpi4py
pip install seismic
# If you want to execute the tutorials, you will have to install jupyter as well
pip install jupyter
To obtain the lates features, you can install SeisMIC from its source code, available on GitHub.
Developers should download the dev
branch
Download this package via GitHub and install it via bash terminal (the few steps shown below) or using the graphical user interface
# Download via wget or web-browser
wget https://github.com/PeterMakus/SeisMIC/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
# For developers download the dev branch
wget https://github.com/PeterMakus/SeisMIC/archive/refs/heads/dev.zip
# unzip the package
unzip main.zip # or dev.zip
# Change directory to the same directory that this repo is in (i.e., same directory as setup.py)
cd SeisMIC-main # That's the standard name the folder should have
# Create the conda environment and install dependencies
conda install -c conda-forge mpi4py
conda env create -f environment.yml
# Activate the conda environment
conda activate seismic
# Install the package in editable mode
pip install -e .
# If you want to execute the tutorials, you will have to install jupyter as well
pip install jupyter
